JB weld fixes everything! Lol

[eurotiva]

Update

Since the next project is a bpt. It was time to get a bp in order.

Mike stopped by for a day of work, and we made good progress...

On with pics....

On the blue car, I decided to just put a muffler on it....

I found JB weld on the previous exhaust?



So i put a normal muffler on it...



And istalled guages for future add-ons....



And then i had to go do some boat work....went and really "picked this up"







So we had to water test it....



And Mike and I got started on this......











Lot's more to come......

Hmmmm. I'm interested in where this is going. That down pipe is quite artistic, and it allows for an A/C compressor.

[eurotiva]

Vj11/tbird(?) on a BP...hmm. That's certainly an interesting downpipe...

We just did a tbird on a b6t. It works well. This is a vj5? Thats what it says. It'll get atbird cold side. Homemade downpipe, came with the turbo/manifold

There's a problem with that pic though, the turbo is bolted to the exhaust manifold?!?!?!? Greg, that's not your style man :lol:

I figured someone would pick up on that...lol I guess i'll have to do a mid enigne so it's still rear turbo?

UUHHHH OOHHHHH

New project coming up......Here is the starting piece that we will be building around.

[eurotiva]

Another trick is soak the parts in white vinegar. Safer, but makes stuff smell bad.

I'm gonna try to bring both, if this one is ready.

Looking great Greg! Are you bringing both the surf car and the red car to madness?
Heres a tip for anyone welding aluminized/galvanized or zinc plated steel. A plastic tub with pool acid (muriatic) is great for removing the coating from the metal parts where you will be welding them. Welding over these coatings will make the welds more brittle and could cause health problems (don't breathe in the little yellow floaties, that's lead). Grinding the coatings doesn't always remove them completely from the base metal and can leave deep gouges in the heat affected zone of the weld, this can also lead to cracking later on.

Made some flanges.......................



Cut a downpipe.....................



Welded a flange under the car.................



Making a turbo muffler.............



Maybe a 1st test fit...............



I don't know if I'll turbo this one yet???

[eurotiva]

Do you have like a rates chart? BP Swap cost so much? B6T swap cost so much? Rebuild engine etc!

Florida does sound nice...and maybe something I could talk my GF into!

I don't yet, but I'm working on it

HOW do you clean all that stuff with no parts washer!!! ahah must use cases of brake cleaner and ur trusty pressure washer

I got my parts washer back, that's how. I like getting a cup of solvent to scrub stuff on the pad outside. Look in all the pics my parts washer is there lol

another rear mount turbo setup?

Of course Mike. Where else would it go?

beautiful work! u da man greg

Thanks Danny. Maybe one of these days I'll get to build one of yours?

eurotiva i am trying my best and i am almost there talking my wife in going to visit her brother again in tampa :wink: like in nov. i will keep you up dated and i have your number.

Yeah, sounds good. I will however remove your duct tape when you arrive. Sorry.

Greg, what kind of paint did you use on the transmission?

Rustoleum, Flat Aluminum.

He uses flat aluminum rustoleum, why you ask?! Cause it's 2000 degree heat resistant. Not ^ 500. I have learned this lesson the hard way. Never try to get between Greg and his 2000 degree engine paint.

Your car is gonna look good in flat aluminum!

Cast Coast aluminum iirc is the name on the can 2000 degrees

Thats what i used to use until i found the flat stuff.
